Fake Steve Jobs post on Intercasting

This is too funny -- here's an excerpt:

Here I am on the balcony saying, “Let them eat cake for the low price of $299,” and what happens? A fucking blogospheric revolt of customers who were perfectly happy with their elitist touchscreen device they were smugly using just a week before to demonstrate their consumer electronic buying power and hipness. And all of a sudden I'm the asshole? What gives? So then I offered a store credit so these bitches could buy a bluetooth headset or some other sort of white plastic accessory or whatever. That sort of shut them up, but I still had the other lawsuit to deal with. This time, I was named personally along with my company and AT&T for “price discrimination, underselling, discrimination in rebates, deceptive actions, and other wrongdoings” all because I lowered the price because I was trying to be a nice guy. “Other wrongdoings”? Can you really sue someone for that? WTF? “Yeah, so, I am suing Bob for just generally being an asshole. Gretchen in the cube next to him totally agrees, so I think we have a strong case.” Seriously. They might as well add "mischief and buggery" to their list of asinine claims. Welcome to my world.
